im bringing a coolant pressure gauge with t's to tap into the system and check for blown heads. Im also checking for difference of ECT and EOT with a scangaugeII before purchase. It was frustrating that I couldn't find a shop to check those things for me...

Welcome to the site! And Im happy to see your taking the proper steps and proper tools with you to check out the truck before you sign! Ive read were some guys were flying across country and were planning on having there mechanic check it out once they got home!
I mean what are you gonna do if you get the truck 1000 miles from the dealer and then find out its about to explode on you? Call for a renogatiation of the contract?
Hope it all go's well! Keep us informed! And dont forget to check ficm volts and alternator output!
